The third-ranked Carroll College Fighting Saints defeated the University of Montana Western Bulldogs 46-17 on a pleasant but windy afternoon at Vigilante Field in Dillon on Saturday, Oct. 29.
The Saints marched 80 yards over seven plays on their opening possession to take a 7-0 lead at the 11:53 mark when Dane Broadhead hit Lat Wipplinger on an eight-yard touchdown pass. The defenses took over for the rest of the quarter and no further points were put on the scoreboard in the opening period.
Early in the second period the Bulldogs looked ready to tie things up but were forced to settle for a field goal by Yim Sribenjakul to cut the lead to 7-3 with 11:04 to play in the first half. Montana Western would not score again in the first half while Carroll added 16 more points to the scoreboard.
Broadhead connected with Anthony Clarke on a 22-yard pass in the end zone and Chance Demarais ran the ball in from the one-yard line for two touchdowns while Yaremko added the extra points to put the Saints ahead 21-3. A snap that sailed over punter Deryk Van Zee’s head and out of the end zone for a safety added the final two points on Carroll’s side of the scoreboard and the half ended 23-3 in favor of the Saints.
Just 15 seconds into the third quarter, the Saints got the second safety of the game to go up 25-3. Just over a minute later, Dakota Stonehouse scampered 13 yards for another Saints’ touchedown and Yaremko added the extra point. With 7:50 on the clock, Stonehouse threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Wipplinger and Yaremko added the extra point to put Carroll ahead 39-3. Jeff Logan connected on a 34-yard pass to Casey Lamping with 5:33 to play and Sribenjakul’s kick was good to cut the Saints’ lead to 39-10. However, two minutes later Dustin Rinker ran for a 15-yard Carroll touchdown and the third quarter ended with the Saints ahead 46-10.
Early in the final period Jeff Logan ran four yards for a touchdown on a quarterback keeper and Sribenjakul kicked the extra point to make the score 46-17. No more points would be put on the board and the game ended with the Saints' seventh straight win.
The Saints (7-1, 8-1) outgained the Bulldogs (2-6, 2-7) in total offensive yards, 430-238. Carroll held the advantage rushing, 320-132. The Bulldogs passed for 106 yards and the Saints had 110.
